Well, pretty much every day in San Francisco is filled with scifi, tech and porn, but this weekend is special. Arse Elektronika, the notorious techno-porn event imported from pervvy Vienna, is starting tomorrow night with a bang. This year, the conference theme is “Do Androids Sleep with Electric Sheep?” I’ll be a host for the opening night techno-porno award ceremony tomorrow at CELLSpace (doors at 7; show at 8). I’ll be teaching you the dos and don’ts of science fiction sex — with video illustrations, of course. And on Friday and Saturday, there are all-day events devoted to analyzing (yes, analyzing) the crossovers between sex, science, and science fiction. Featuring luminaries like Rudy Rucker, Carol Queen, Richard Kadrey, Constance Penley, and more! Come Thursday night to mingle and party. Come Friday and Saturday to grow a new brain in your pants.
